You're Not the One

I feel as though simplicity
Has left and won’t come back to me
And even so, I guess I couldn’t blame you
You came and took me all away, the night is gone but dark remains, regardless of what’s done you’re left behind me.

Because I loved you. Yes, I loved you. Because I loved you, but I know that you're not the one.

You took from me my everything
You stole away my heart to sing
And yet I know I killed you and I meant to
We fought, we lied, we didn’t love, we fell from heaven up above and yet in hell I thank the pain you gave me.

Because I loved you. Yes, I loved you. Because I loved you, but I know that you're not the one.

And here we lie within the dark
I hate the beauty of the lark
Who’s sadly singing songs of which we loved to.
Yet here I stand above thy head, why is it that I wish you dead? Because the crime you did is one you can't mend.

Because I loved you. Yes, I loved you. Because I loved you, but I know that you're not the one.

I’ve come to love another one
Yet in my head I forgive none
And every breath I take it slowly kills me.
I breathe in rage with every sigh, and in a way it makes me high and feel alive again because I loved you.

Because I loved you. Yes, I loved you. Because I loved you, but I know that you're not the one.

I broke your heart, you broke mine too
But I just wasn’t meant for you
You’re meant to be alone and left behind me.
Although I’ll rise above this hell, I hope that you can forgive as well,
And maybe one day you can say you loved me.

Because I loved you. Yes, I loved you. Because I loved you, but I know that you're not the one.
